    Default need new key from holden

    hi all
    i tried searching, but 'key' was too short and i got no replies
    if anyone can direct me, that would be great

    basically, i have a wreak car, but i had problems getting the key lock out of the ignition
    i turned it so many times, the key bent

    so i took a hammer to it, and guess what?
    i mashed the teeth on it
    so key doesn't work anymore
    and i need to be able to move the wreck

    is it possible to get a key remade from holden, and whats involved and $$?

    or am i fcuked?
    cheers

    Holden would charge you a fortune. Call around a few locksmiths and see what they are charging.

    if the key is still able to be duplicated,you say mashed up,$25.00 to have another key cut,if it's to badly damaged to be able to duplicate,you can either call a mobile lock smith to code a new key for you,at a hefty price,or you can take ignition barrel to them and get it cut for around $50.00, this is allowing for labour, as they have to do a fair bit of mucking about,if ignition barrel is k-nackered,your looking at $80.00-$120.00... for new barrel(complete)
    PS thats Tassies prices
